ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the importance, satisfaction and influencing factors of college students in a medical university, and to provide reference for the teaching reform of public elective courses.Methods:A questionnaire survey was conducted in this study among Batch 2018 students of Southern Medical University. A total of 691 questionnaires were distributed and 674 valid ones were recovered. The data were analyzed descriptively, and one-way ANOVA analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were carried out by using SPSS 20.0.Results:There were statistical differences between students' objective of elective course, evaluation of teachers, evaluation of courses and harvest of courses and students' satisfaction and attention to public elective courses ( P<0.05). Students who chose courses for improving their comprehensive quality paid more attention to public courses [(4.3±0.73) points] and had higher satisfaction [(4.34±0.69) points] than other options. Students with good evaluation on teachers' teaching paid more attention to public elective courses [(4.32±0.71) points] and their satisfaction [(4.45±0.62) points] was higher than other options. Students with good evaluation on the courses had the highest degree of attention [(4.35±0.71) points] and satisfaction [(4.47±0.63) points]. Students paid the highest attention [(4.75±0.53)points] to and had the highest satisfaction [(4.85±0.36) points] with the public elective courses with more course harvest. The multiple linear regression analysis found that the 5 variables, gender, teaching forms, teaching evaluation, course quality and course harvest had significant differences in the scores of public elective course satisfaction ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The male students, in inquiry teaching form, the higher evaluation on the teacher, the higher the course quality, and the more the course harvest, the higher the students' satisfaction with the public elective courses.

They dissected one cadaver, and investigated Digital Report, under the course subjects as follows; (1) the shape of thyroid gland and the location of its isthmus, (2) the branches of left and right coronary arteries, (3) the number of blood vessels and bronchi on the hilum of lung, (4) topographical relationship of the renal vessels and ureter, and the shape of the renal pelvis, (5) the location and attachment of the appendix, (6) the penetration of median nerve through the pronator teres, (7) the sensory nerves and the extensor tendons on the dorsum of hand, (8) the branches of deep femoral artery. The pancreatic and live samples were processed and stained with H&E, for LM observation, since the individual had suffered from pancreatic cancer and got a Pylorus preserving pancreatico-duodenectomy (PPPD). At the last step of the elective course, students wrote small articles following the conventional method for writing manuscript. From the viewpoint of professor, the anatomy course for the fourth-year students were definitely different from that for first-year students, and had many positive effects in terms of anatomy education.
